I will try and update regularly ie every 2-3 weeks but sometimes RL gets in the way so I'll apologise in advance.

B and E don't belong to me...but Goonerward and my fantasies of E in an Arsenal kit are all mine ;-)

Chapter 2

I left the changing room trying not to limp or look uncomfortable; I didn't want Bella calling me back for another massage. Truth is I'm rock hard and am in need of a cold shower now! Throughout Bella's examination and massage I kept thinking about dead puppies and picturing my gran in my mind, I couldn't risk getting a boner in front of Bella. Charlie would kill me, no wait he would skin me alive and then kill me!

I went straight to the coach; Jasper had loaded my bag for me knowing that I was in with Bella. He really is a sound guy.

"You all good?" Jazz asked as I sat next to him.

"Yeah I'm fine." My voice sounded strained even to me.

"Cold shower for you when you get home." Jazz laughed. I ignored him and put my headphones in to block everything and everyone out. I needed to get myself in check because it was a long drive back to London and in my current situation it would be uncomfortable unless I calmed down.

I closed my eyes concentrating on the music and rested back into my seat. I could still feel her fingers working the muscles in my upper thigh because they felt a little tense to her after the game. I could see her biting her bottom lip as she concentrated on checking my vitals. I tried shaking my head as if to shake the thoughts away, but no such luck my dick was trying to escape by trackie bottoms again...it was going to one hell of a long ride back to London.

I awoke with a new sense of determination on Monday morning, today we had training before we went to a local school to see the children. I would not be so affected by Bella, I was a grown man I could block out her brown eyes; I would not get a hard on just by looking at her. I am not an adolescent teenager with raging hormones! I honest to God hoped this worked or I would be in serious trouble.

"How are you feeling Cullen?" Charlie asked as I practised my free kicks.

"Good boss, why?" My mind suddenly went into overdrive. Had Bella noticed my situation down below after the game and told Charlie?!

"I want you to practise some of these free kicks in the game on Wednesday." I let out a sigh of relief, I hadn't realised I was holding my breath.

"Ah yeah I'd love to. I'm nailing them on target every time today."

"Good lad, keep it up. Try a few practise runs with the lads in front of you acting as a wall." With that he hit me on the back in his affectionate way and walked off towards Jazz who wasn't looking so hot today.

So far training was going well, I hadn't seen Bella at all so I hadn't been able to test my sense of determination out but I wasn't walking around with a stiff dick either, so it was a win win situation. Bella was doing her one- to- one sessions with some of the guys.

I looked over to see what Jazz was doing, he looked a little slow in his runs today as if he was trying to run something off. I decided to join him for a few laps and see what was wrong.

"What's up Jazz, you're not looking you're not looking yourself."

"Nothing, I felt a slight knock after the game on Saturday but thought I would've walked it off by now. Hopefully this run will help it."

"Jazz just go and see Bella, it'd be better to get it looked at. You don't want to make it worse and end up sitting out for months." I gave him the look that told him I wasn't messing around.

"I don't need any treatment it's fine." Jazz pouted. He hated getting knocks and having to get treatment it was as if it made him feel weak.

"Jazz you either go and see Bella by yourself or I'll drag your arse over to her right now."

"You only wanna go and see her cos you wanna throw her over your shoulder and have some proper one on one time with her." The fucker actually laughed. Right it's payback time.

"Charlie I'm just going to help Jazz over to Bella he's feeling a knock in his knee. Wouldn't want him to miss the game on Wednesday." I could feel Jazz's eyes burning a hole into the back of my head.

"If Bella is in one of her one- to- ones just knock and tell her Jazz needs to be seen now! I'll come and see the prognosis in a few." Charlie shouted over before turning back to Seth.

"I hate you Cullen." Jazz sulked as we walked towards the building. I laughed until my sides hurt, he was such a baby. Truth be told I was a little excited at seeing Bella, though I wasn't sure if it was to test out my determination or to see her deep brown eyes or rosy lips. Argh I was doing it again!

As we got to the medical room Emmett was just leaving, we'd timed this perfectly.

"Right Jazz go in and see Bella. I'll see you outside." I held the room door open so he could just walk through.

Jazz smirked at me. "Oh no Cullen you're not getting away this easily. You're coming in with me." As he walked past me he grabbed and dragged me into the room with him.

Bella looked up from her paperwork that she was filling out; she looked at me being dragged by Jazz, then at Jazz then back at me. I could swear her eyes lingered on my longer than necessary but it could be my imagination running wild again. She definitely seemed surprised at seeing us together.

"What's up guys?" she smiled. I didn't look at Bella I concentrated on getting Jasper's hand off my top.

"Oh I felt a slight knock on my knee after the game on Saturday but thought I'd walk it off. Edward has been really attentive today and told me to come and get your professional opinion. I thought Edward should join me too."

"Jasper you know you should've seen me on Saturday after the game."

"You had your one-to-one with Edward I didn't want to disrupt your schedule."

"If you get hurt you see me there and then." Bella was very stern; you could tell she was Charlie's daughter. "I just hope you haven't done any serious damage to your knee. Jasper let go of Edward and get on the bed." There was no denying her now she meant business and Jazz was smart enough to realise this.

Up until this point I still hadn't acknowledged Bella in any way I was doing my best to block her voice out. As soon as Jazz let go of me and jumped on the bed, I looked at Bella and boy oh boy it was a huge mistake. My determination had vanished but my hard on was on its way back.

In the afternoon some of us visited a local primary school to sit with the children and spend some time with them. It was a way for us to give back to the community for all their love and support, this was one of my favourite parts of the charity work because I loved spending time with the children whether it was playing at break time or helping them with their maths work. I went in the car with Jazz who has only slightly hurt his knee and with the stretches Bella showed him he should be fine for the Juventus game on Wednesday. Seth came with us in the car while Bella and Charlie went with Emmett; it would have been pointless taking 5 cars.

As soon as we stepped into the school you could feel the buzz of excitement around the school, the teachers and students both enjoyed the players' visits.

I was going to the Reception class first with Seth and then we'd move to another class. We all made sure that we spent a little bit of time with each class. When we got to the class Mr Hunt the teacher introduced us to the children, you could see which ones recognised us because their mouths fell open. The others looked at us with confusion wondering what all the fuss was about, which made me laugh because it was so cute watching them trying to figure it out.

Seth went over to a table with 5 children a mix of three girls and two boys who were working on a puzzle; I saw a little girl playing by herself and decided to find out why the other girls weren't playing with her.

"Hello my name's Edward. Can I play with you?" I tried desperately not to scare her; last thing I wanted was to upset her because the giant stranger frightened her.

The little girl looked up at me from what she was doing and seemed wary. She looked around, saw Seth playing with the other children and then looked back at me. "Becca." It was barely a whisper and I just about caught it.

"Hello Becca it's nice to meet you." I smiled at her. "What are you playing?"

"Dolls." She smiled. I looked at the other group of girls not far away and they were playing with the dolls too. Why wasn't Becca playing with them?

"Can I play?" Becca nodded her head slightly, she seemed really shy. She handed me a doll that looked like a Barbie doll it had blonde hair and blue eyes, just like Becca did.

"Can we have a tea pawty?" I nodded with a smile. Alice would love to see me playing with a Barbie; she would probably take pictures too! "Can we pick clothes?" I nodded again although I knew nothing about Barbie clothes and wasn't too sure about changing them either.

Becca got a pile of doll clothes out from a box; they were all miniature and cute. She picked a pink sleeveless dress with white flowers on it for her doll. I saw a black skirt and blue vest which I liked for my doll.

"Will you change my Barbie's clothes please Becca? I don't know how to do it." She nodded at me and began changing both dolls' clothes. "Shall I set the table for the tea party?" Becca thought about it for a second before allowing me to do this.

I found the little table, cups, saucers and chairs and set them up so they were ready for our dolls. Once our dolls were dressed we sat them at the tables.

"Eward what's your Barbie called?" I was stumped I hadn't thought of a name for her.

"Erm...I'll call her Alice after my little sister. What is your Barbie called?"

"Eward." I found it cute that she wanted to name her Barbie Edward. I noticed that Becca couldn't say her 'D and Rs' properly and thought it was adorable.

"Why Edward?"

"Eward is my fwend." I wanted to hug this shy and adorable girl and protect her from the other children.

I played dolls with Becca until our time was up in the class, the other group of girls started to stare and watch us play. I asked them to join us and they eagerly did, turns out as Becca has her lisp she's very quiet and doesn't talk much which is why the other girls don't play with her. That all changed as of today, I left the girls playing together like best friends. As I got up to say hello to the rest of the children, Becca grabbed me and hugged me as hard as she could giving me a million dollar smile.

By playtime I was in the year 6 class and had agreed to play football with the year 5 and year 6 classes during it. I was on the year 6 team and Seth played for the year 5's.

The kids weren't bad at football, though Seth and I held back a little we didn't want to seem like arrogant pricks and didn't want to make the kids feel bad either. One of the boys on my team scored I think his name is Mike, as we all cheered I noticed Becca on the other side of the playground playing with her new friends and then she fell over and started crying. I was just about to run over to her when I saw Bella go to her, she simultaneously picked Becca up and sat down so Becca ended up in her lap. From what I could tell Bella was trying to find out where Becca had hurt herself, I assumed it was her knee as Bella began rubbing it and put a kiss on it. I stood transfixed by this scene and I think I swooned a little.

Eurgh get a grip Cullen, you're swooning like a girl now?

"Seth I'll be right back."I couldn't stop myself from running over to Bella and Becca. I wanted to make sure Becca was okay and I wanted to see Bella look after Becca because that shit was so cute I couldn't stay away.

"Becca!" I shouted out as I got closer to them. Becca turned around looking at me with her tear stained face. I ran a little faster hoping I wouldn't startle Becca and parked my arse next to Bella to see where Becca had hurt herself. Turns out she had only slightly grazed her knee but was okay and running around again in no time.

"That was really sweet of you Edward."

"What was?"

"Coming to see if Becca was okay. You abandoned your game with the older kids." I'd completely forgotten about the game I was supposed to be playing.

"Oh crap, I'd better get back to the game or the children won't be happy and I don't want them to be sad." With that I jogged back towards the game. Our game ended up finishing in a 2-2 draw which kept both teams happy and was the perfect end to the afternoon.
